Army: Military Intelligence
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment has he made of the feasibility of replacing the Army’s formation reconnaissance capability via Project ASGARD.
Answered by Luke Pollard
Project ASGARD is not a replacement for the Army's formation reconnaissance capability; it enhances and improves it. It provides the digital backbone that links our reconnaissance and strike systems at machine speed. Formation reconnaissance remains essential: it finds enemy targets, and ASGARD uses that information to deliver rapid, integrated effects through a range of precision weapons.
